Hello,
I am a descendent of the above Bellmans.
I descend from John H & Jane bellman through their daughter Selina Jane Bellman born 8/2/1843 in Melbourne but registered with Sydney NSW. Selina married John Charles Bros (1834-1891). Selina died in Hobart Tasmania when visiting her daughter Pauline Drake and she is buried there. I descend from Selina and John Bros's son Oswald Septimus Bros (1863-1937) who was also a plasterer in Newcastle NSW Australia before moving with his wife Marguaret Henrietta Hennings to the upper Bellinger Valley about 1921 to 1928 where they became farmers of dairy, pigs & crops. They had 8 children, all born in Sydney before they left for Bellingen. One was Dorothy Maud Bros (1888-1974), my Great Grandmother. She married Sydney Gordon Sky. Their eldest Sydney Richardson Sky (1915-1989) is my grandfather. He married Lois Emily Wardill Wright and had 5 boys - jOhn Richard Sky os my father. He married Norma Warwick in 1963. They had 5 children - I am the oldest. I married Leonie Adele McDonald in 1991 and have 3 children - Patrick, Thomas and Andrew. I divorced Leonie in 2005 and remarried to Annette Jean Newman in 2017, although we have been together since 2006.
I have a DNA connection with other Bellmans who have the following tree - Alfred Bellman (1848-1929) then Francis Bellman (b St Mabyn Cornwall 1815, died Parramatta NSW 1886), then William Bellman (Lostwithiel Cornwall 1773 - died 1847), then Vincent Bellman (born 1743 St Just in Roseland Cornwall, dies 1794 Lostwithiel Cornwall), then Vincent Bellman (born Bodmin Cornwall 1704). I want to know HOW these Bellman's fit into our family tree please? Anyone know and can share??
Would love to make contact with other family members,
regards
Malcolm Sky
